Description The Expansion Assistance and Development Program (EXPAND) is a CDBG funded program that enables growing small businesses to access capital from conventional lending sources. The EXPAND program does not provide grants or direct loans. EXPAND promotes economic development within the City of Phoenix by providing supplemental collateral to a participating lender via a CD that is pledged toward a loan made by the lender to a creditworthy small business. The EXPAND collateral enhancement ($250,000 maximum) reduces the lender’s risk exposure and thereby increases their willingness to consider loan requests from qualified small businesses. Businesses that are approved for an EXPAND collateral enhancement are required to create or retain a pre-determined number of full-time jobs. The actual number of jobs is contingent on the amount of the approved collateral enhancement. The EXPAND program can be used with loan programs offered by the Small Business Administration (SBA). Additionally, the Phoenix New Markets Loan Program offers below market rate loans for the acquisition, rehabilitation, expansion or new construction of commercial real estate projects located in under-served areas in the city of Phoenix. New loan requests will be considered subject to funds availability. The Phoenix Industrial Development Authority (PIDA) offers tax-exempt bond financing for manufacturing concerns and qualified non-profit organizations operating within the Phoenix city limits.
